<p class="MsoNormal">< But those bored with it, who seem to endlessly repeat their position, and when asked to clarify, will repeat it again, seem to have a position something like \u201cyou\u2019ll see when you see\u201d. It is distastefully close, in my perception, to
those who will say \u201cyou really are a spiritual person, and you just won\u2019t admit it. When you stop resisting and admit it, you will come around to where I am, and you will see.\u201d That doesn\u2019t seem to me like any way to make decisions that differs from what
leaves us in our current mess, since people have been doing it forever. Yet those who are into it now are convinced that this time they hold the true innovation. ><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One could map out all the peaks and valleys with excruciating care, or just randomly try points in the space. Probably you\u2019d do about as well with the latter. The person that stumbles upon a high fitness point will have a dominion! Awesome!
Play the lottery, win big. We have songs to sing in my dominion. If you don\u2019t like them, play the lottery some more.
